Kreepy Krauly Automatic Pool
Cleaners
The Kreepy Krauly
brand name has been around the automatic pool cleaners
market since 1974 and has been one of the more well
known and reliable brands if you are looking for a device
that will clean your swimming pool
automatically.
There are
different Kreepy Krauly models available depending on
your budget and your needs, for example whether you have
an in-ground pool or an above-ground swimming pool, or
whether the surface of your swimming pool is made of
gunite or just lined with vinyl.
In general, automatic pool cleaners are
broken into three categories, namely suction side cleaners such
as the Kreepy Krauly E-Z Vac, pressure side cleaners and
robots.
Suction Side Cleaners: These suction side
cleaners, such as the Kreepy Krauly E-Z Vac, attaches to the
suction side of your plumbing. The suction side refers to the
pipes and fittings that bring water out of the pool, to be
filtered. The water is sucked out of the pool by the filter
pump.
Pressure Side
Cleaners: These cleaners are those that attach to
the pressure side, or return side, of your circulation system.
The water that is being pumped or pushed back to the pool,
powers these units which have their own hydraulic power plant
inside. Being on the pressure side, these units have distinct
advantages. They are helpful in distributing clean, filtered
water around the pool and having their own debris bag means
that they don't compromise the filter
system.
Robot
Cleaners:
This is the most expensive type. They are self contained
electric cleaners which are put into the pool when there is a
need for cleaning. Common brand names include Aquabot,
Dolphin, and AquaVac. The advantages to owning a robot cleaner
include their self contained filter, which is easily cleaned.
They also provide great cleaning coverage for your pool. Some
units are computer chip controlled, and some even have remote
controls.
